Getting back into photography.  I took a bunch of car photos that I'll be uploading over the next few weeks.

Sadness.

ILM's legendary "Model Shop" has closed.  It's a sad day.
I still greatly prefer practical effects to digital effects.

Threedy.com is currently hosting a game art challenge.  Go enter!  No prizes that I'm aware of, just a friendly art jam.

The BMW M1 is a very rare car.  So much so that I didn't even know it existed until we were working on a project involving Andy Warhol, who famously painted one:  1.bp.blogspot.com/_N_fR5D_yCxk…

Since I've been learning iOS development at work lately and a nice 3d model of an M1 would be potentially useful in the Warhol project, I decided to create this car as a testbed for learning native Objective-C and OpenGL programming.

I was able to get some pretty good results with only about 17,000 triangles and only a few small textures on the lights and wheels.  The body is just a flat color with a pretty shader (no normalmaps or anything).

The image I posted was taken from 3dsMax's viewport but I also have this up and running (and looking nearly identical) on the iPhone and iPad.
